After "The World of Man", another realistic drama "Heart Residence" was launched, which is about the contradiction between Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Qingyu, the two sisters-in-law, who should have loved each other as a family, but because of their own calculations and vigilance, they have become enemies in the light and the dark.
Although the operation of this drama takes the problem of buying a house as the starting point, it does not revolve around buying a house, especially after the death of Feng Xiaoqin's husband Gu Lei, the issue of buying a house has been temporarily shelved. Feng Xiaoqin's every step is very strong and purposeful, no longer mentioning the house, and even continuing to take care of her family.
Gu Qingyu's attitude toward Feng Xiaoqin has changed since the death of his brother, but he is still wary of the other party's unreasonable approach.
The problems presented to the audience by "Heart Dwelling" are very realistic, and this reality does not only exist in interpersonal relationships, but also in the class division of people. The story of "Heart Residence" takes place in Shanghai, where there are ordinary women like Xiang Feng Xiaoqin who hope to have a nest of their own, and there are urban white-collar workers like Gu Qingyu who have money and ability.
This class difference can be seen from LV's scarf alone, Gu Qingyu gave Gu Lei a real LV scarf on his birthday, and Feng Xiaoqin bought a LV cloth paste on the scarf he personally knitted, which can also directly see the difference between the two.
But what can really expose this class difference is still from the diet, different classes of people, every meal is different, "Heart Residence" exposes this cruel life: your food, exposed your class.
It can be seen from the breakfast of Gu Qingyu and Feng Xiaoqin's two families that Feng Xiaoqin's family eats fritters, buns, fried ham and pickles, less attention to less salt and less oil, and more emphasis is on eating. Therefore, the portion size of each meal is large, and a lot of oil is added when frying ham, and there are small pickles next to it.
On the other side is Gu Qingyu's breakfast, only she eats alone at the table, there is a nanny cleaning up the home, the table is a delicate breakfast, drinking is not soy milk porridge, but cereal, compared to eating well, it is more important for Gu Qingyu.
The second is the dinner of a large family or friends, and this class difference can also be seen. The lower level is Shi Yuan, he and Gu Qingyu when they met chose the fly restaurant in the street, the environmental hygiene in the shop is not very good, sitting on an ordinary plastic stool, the table is placed with simple stir-fry and soup, using disposable tableware, Gu Qingyu is incompatible with such an environment, but Shi Yuan's class is destined to choose to meet in such a place.
Compared with Shi Yuan's life, better is the Gu family, in Gu Qingyu and Gu Lei's birthday, the family made a large table of dishes to celebrate the birthday, the table is placed on the home-cooked dish, there are green vegetables fried meat, there are fish, shrimp and chicken meat, etc., although the ingredients are not so expensive, but it also looks warm and rich, more like the life of ordinary people. It can be seen that in terms of class, Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Lei are above Shi Yuan.
The same is a friend dinner, on Gu Qingyu's birthday, Zhan Xiang invited everyone to eat together, for Gu Qingyu to celebrate his birthday, eating more exquisite Japanese ingredients, more exquisite about the ingredients, although not as lively as home cooking, but according to the head of the Japanese food, the price is more expensive than home cooking, it can be seen that Zhan Xiang's class is above Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Lei and others.
When Zhan Xiang and Gu Qingyu were together, the two of them agreed that afternoon tea was coffee with dessert, sitting on an open-air table and chatting, which was a typical lifestyle of Shanghai's petty bourgeoisie, but on the contrary, Feng Xiaoqin, as a housewife, met her friends and ate Beijing copper hot pot, and the lively fireworks were more vigorous, and this fiery atmosphere was completely different from afternoon tea.
In Zhan Xiang, Gu Qingyu and other people above the class is Gu Xin's girlfriend Ge Yue's family, her father is the bureau chief, the family are Shanghainese, when meeting with Gu Xin's family, they chose a luxuriously decorated hotel box. There are few dishes on the table, as well as flowers to set off the atmosphere, and it can be seen from the dress of ge Yue's family that it is obviously different from Gu Xin's family.
This kind of family gathering is different from Gu Lei and Gu Qingyu's birthday, everyone has their own dish in front of them, unlike ordinary family gatherings. The distance between people is even farther, there is no way to give each other a dish, and they eat the food on their own plates.
Gu Xin's mother exposed the difference between herself and Ge Yue's family class, when the phoenix claw was brought up, Ge Yue picked up the knife and fork and ate very carefully and elegantly, while Gu Xin's mother directly picked it up and nibbled on it, which attracted the disgust of Ge Yue's mother, and Gu Xin also couldn't see her mother's eating appearance and hurried to stop it.
Diet most directly exposes the different classes in "Heart Residence", reflecting the most practical material conditions of life, which are closely related to income and social status, which is also a cruel life and reality.
